Die Seiten sind unbeschrieben. The pages are blank.

And suddenly, they are not so. But my mind, is it not all a jumble? I had just a little while ago finished reading out loud to Annie Franck from Alice in Wonderland, assisting her in play-acting the scenes out. Now the girl and her brother are in the kitchen playing. Gareth is on the wheeled hobby-horse, and Hannah is trying to direct him to stay in some spot, and getting rather frustrated at her toddler brother's failure to follow directions. Ah, well, I'd better intervene.

Wilma is in the bedroom napping.

And I'd like to take one or both children to the Hispanic Mass at St. Jude's which is celebrated at 13:00.

You are the Gender Abolitionist type of feminist. This means that you
feel the best way to destroy patriarchal oppression is to rid ourselves
of misguided gender roles, and instead live in a society that does not
make such marked assumptions about gender differences. The Gender
Abolitionist is culturally radical, but rather conservative when it
comes to sexual liberation and politics. You have a strong sense of
human rights for all. In fact, you are actually a very moral person.
You don't see people in terms of gender and are thus very philosophical
in order to perceive the world in such a manner. You think people
shouldn't identify others in terms of gender. When most people see a
person, the first thing they think is "That person is a woman" or "That
person is a man", but they do NOT think "That person is a
short-fingernail". Most make someone's gender their IDENTITY, but
fingernail length would never be considered part of their identity. A
gender abolitionist would claim gender should be like fingernail
length--it shouldn't be part of someone's identity. By making gender a
part of identity, difference is emphasized and oppression is often
justified. Thus, gender shouldn't be regarded to such a large extent by
society. You are mostly concerned with seeing women become fully
equalized with men by eliminating gender roles, as these roles oppress
women.
